Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | The Morning Report — 10/30/25![]() Wednesday on MSNSDAP’s “Chris Jansing Reports,” Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), who serves as the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said MAGA voters who cheer the Trump administration’s military strikes on alleged drug boats in the eastern Pacific would not like who a potential President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez chooses to kill.Aside from the nightmare prospect of Titty Caca as Soros the Younger's Puppet, let alone any Democrat ever being elected President of the He-Man Woman-Haterz Klub let alone POTUS ever again, I trust President Trump and the Secretary of War's actions and intel in taking out these threats to the safety and security of our nation and people. But his fantasies about who Donkey Chompers might choose to kill are quite revelatory about his and his ilks willingness to kill any innocent party merely as an act of political retribution or simple naked aggression in the pursuit and maintenance of absolute power. Between stealing a national election, and the installation of a mental defective stooge as their puppet, a cabal of Democrats and others utilized the instrumentalities of our intelligence, law enforcement agencies and the judiciary to persecute and represss their political opponents while usurping the office of the Presidency to issue four years of executive orders, directives, edicts and even signing legislation onto the books. The gall of this degenerate and his entire party is beyond the pale. In the immortal words to be uttered some 3,000 or so years in the future by an astronaut riding horseback along an alien yet oddly familiar stretch of beach "God Damn You (Democrats) All to Hell." Operation Midway Blitz Commander Ordered to Meet With Chicago Judge Daily, Says He Looks Forward to Showing Her How Bad Things AreFunny but this hack-in-black slag did not order the leader of this merry bunch to meet with her: The increasingly dangerous conditions faced by Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Chicago continue to grow worse as activists for illegal migrants increase their violent attacks. And more video showing that is making its way to social media every day. Along with the use of rocks and bottles as weapons, violent activists are also increasingly using professional grade fireworks against ICE agents in Chicago, causing the risk of hearing loss, eye damage, and burns.Were I the Midway Blitz commander, I'd tell this Sara Ellis shitwhore to go piss up a rope. The CBP is operating under the authority of President Donald Trump and his underlings at the DHS and Justice Department. None of them are accountable to her in the lawful performance of their duties in securing the safety of the citizenry and ultimately our national security and sovereignty. Chicago among other hotspots are erupting in what can only be described as open revolt and terroristic insurrection. Personally, I want to see the bodies of anyone attacking federal agents and law enforcement stacked like cordwood. Brandon Johnson, JB Pritzker should be forcibly ejected from office and Chicago's government run by responsible individuals designated by President Trump. The greatest threat to our republic was is and always will be the Democrat Party, its leaders and base. 200-plus years of history awash in the blood and wastage of life and human potential all in service to a satanic, evil will to power that is the hallmark of Leftism. Elsewhere, the ridiculous geschrei about the cutting of SNAP benefits because of the Schumer Shitshow Shakedown Shutdown, is just that. In the immortal words of 1970s comedian Richard Belzer: "Hey food stamps? Eat fucking tree bark!" Have a good day!

Himes & Swalwell & Biden's various moments of candor about use of military/nuclear force against half the country for their political beliefs are embarrassing lapses for the Party, but they reflect the bloodlust on the Left at large, and they highlight the key political problem we have in this country as of the King's second coronation.
There are two political factions in this country. One of them concerns itself with a broad array of interlocking long-term policy solutions that they hope will, given enough time, Make America Great Again. The other is singularly concerned with how to murder and enslave all of those people as of the very next moment they gain power again. The rank and file in that faction do not bother hiding it - they say it openly all the time and frequently already act on that plan - and their leadership are increasingly saying the quiet part out loud. Given that power will shift back to that second faction sometime in the near future, whose vision will prevail? The one with a broad, multi-generational policy plan that is bounded by lawful order, or the one with an immediate singular goal of seizing absolute power by any means necessary?

>>Paging JackStraw, I need your eternal (and appreciated) optimism.
The opposite of pessimism is not eternal optimism. It's just honest appraisal of what is happening from my perspective. For all my life I've heard people talk about the left's long march through all of our institutions. And they were right. And I'm older than 29. What happened under the Biden administration didn't start with that shit head. It was decades in the making. Most of our institutions are riddled with corruption and traitorous scumbags and we are saddled with the fact that unlike the lawless left we do things legally. It sucks being the grownups sometimes but there it is. What has been uncovered over the last year is mind boggling.

The greatest threat to our republic was is and always will be the Democrat Party, its leaders and base. 200-plus years of history awash in the blood and wastage of life and human potential all in service to a satanic, evil will to power that is the hallmark of Leftism.
Glenn Beck supposedly has a reference website coming soon where he's gone through the memoirs of democrat leaders going back to the 1800's showing what communist assholes they've been the entire time. His goal is to open the eyes of all Americans, including blacks, showing just how they've been used and abused by the dems for generations. Hope it's successful.

An excessive accommodation to the plaintiffs to allow them to fish for evidence--even if they have to manufacture it. Especially egregious as the judge has already predetermined her outcome. But to permit hostile and known liars to pry into the internal deliberations and discussions of the agency? There's pretty clear rules that requires an extraordinary burden far beyond what the plaintiffs mere speculation (it's racist!!) supports. But the judge "knows," she just knows "Orange Man Bad!!"

Wednesday on MSNSDAP’s “Chris Jansing Reports,” Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), who serves as the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said MAGA voters who cheer the Trump administration’s military strikes on alleged drug boats in the eastern Pacific would not like who a potential President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez chooses to kill.
This should be unpacked as a threat. Whether you agree with Trump's choice to use the military against foreign drug runners it is something the CinC has the authority to do. There are no overseas terrorist/drug rings MAGA is friendly with...the only group he could be threatening then are Americans in organizations the left doesn't like - Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, the NRA, etc. Posted by: 18-1 at October 30, 2025 08:31 AM (sKqQm) 121

Did Dr. Grabow retire or something? Posted by: Yabut at October 30, 2025 *** Dr. Grabow as a brand is still there. Like a lot of companies, their products are not what they once were. I have two of their vintage pipes, though, one from the 1930s, and they are great. Kaywoodie is another one that is not too much today, but they once made very fine pipes. The "Dr. Grabow" name came from a doctor friend of the company's founder, Louis Linkman, who wanted a doctor's name to lend marketing zing to his pipes. The doctor (d. 1965) was okay with not getting any money for the use of his name -- but he got free pipes for life.

While the exact cause of the drop in SNAP reliance isn’t entirely clear, declining inflation and increasing domestic industrial investment are two likely factors impacting the decline.
Trump Has REDUCED Food Stamp Dependence by 600,000. (How many illegal aliens were and are getting them? - jjs) - 800,000 illegal aliens have been deported, and at least another 50% have self deported. I would say that accounts for the drop.

The SNAP thing is interesting.
The easiest way to get it funded is for the recipients, who are mostly in blue districts, to call their rep/senator and demand they vote for the clean CR. That would mean no free healthcare for illegals BUT the FNM tells us there are no illegals on EBT right? Posted by: 18-1 at October 30, 2025 08:40 AM (sKqQm) 161
The scandal is that nearly 2 million of a population of some 13 million Pennsylvanians are so dependent on a welfare program for daily sustenance. Nationwide, around 41.7 million people, representing a little over 12% of U.S. residents, are signed up for the program at any given time.
- Actually, the real scandal is that the average food stamp recipient has a larger monthly grocery budget than the average taxpayer. I know that my grocery budget is less than the average leech. Posted by: Thomas Paine at October 30, 2025 08:40 AM (0U5gm) 162
Vance could have done better on some questions - Massie, immigration were OK, not great. 2028 is long way away. Vance is still in Trump's shadow. He is very clever, quick on his feet, was instrumental in to securing Trump's victory. But governing, his agenda for the US, what he really stands for other than the obvious , is kinda not that clear. It's one thing to say "America First", another to have an actionable plan. Trump was clear from 2016 what he wanted, build the wall , tariffs. In fact he was clear about what he wanted for 40 years.

Vance alternately impresses and bores me. His rhetorical tic of beginning almost every answer with, "Now, look..." is preachy and annoying. He's a superb politician in the traditional sense. His future will very much depend on the post-Trump mood of the country, i.e., just what sort of leadership temperament fits the country's state of mind at that point.

Interesting to watch local judiciary become a super-executive body in this country and nobody really doing a damn thing about it.
--- I'm fascinated with how all the clown judges are flat-out ignoring some of the biggest precedent of SCOTUS this year: 1) no nationwide injunctions (the birthright case) 2) no piddling ass "administrative technicalities" to justify injunctions (the UT land case) 3) just saying rote phrases, isn't enough--you must do the work; especially when weighing harm to the government (several of the emergency docket rulings) And yet? Nationwide injunctions, based on interpretation disagreements over minor Administrative Procedures Act compliance while dispensing with the harm to the government (from the injection) with rote phrases. There is real, actual fascism in this country--unelected, unaccountable tyrants overruling the will of the electorate: It's wearing a black robe and calls itself "judge."

I hope y'all are beginning to see the fallacy of the American Religion's Free Will Salvation Scheme where people angle to work the System to make God save them. The Scriptures teach Election / Pre-destination. A person is saved despite their being dead to sin and dedication to unrighteousness. It is the process of Sanctification where the sinner is brought to repentance, not in gaming God. To be saved by God means Sanctification to be brought to Repentance where one then recognizes they have been bought and redeemed. Paul rebukes the entire Free Will message in several of his epistles. it only persists because Americans make the LORD their co-pilot rather than King.

62 I think Trump still does not fully comprehend the threat posed by the institutional left in this country.
Perhaps I am impatient but I do not see the urgency and alacrity I think is necessary dealing with them and I am genuinely afraid of what might happen next without action. Posted by: San Franpsycho at October 30, 2025 08:14 AM (9ipOP) I believe Trump not only sees, he understands what needs to be done. Fact is, he and our movement still have to be careful because we only have nominal control, we are still far from actual control of the situation. The most important thing, necessary before any big move, is to complete the purge of military high command until loyalty is assured, and do the same with FBI, DOJ, and CIA. Those processes have begun; but Trump cannot move against the Judiciary unless all of those are guaranteed to be with him. Til that time stay carefully within the rules.

Another sentiment I see from the EBT crowd is that people with jobs like to work and since they don't it isn't fair they have to. Now, this is absurd. Not only in that most people that work would rather not - remember the lottery fantasy for working people is not "I win the lottery and then tell my boss I want my overtime!"

Ginko was thought to be extinct, actually. Only known from the fossil record. Then they found some growing at some Buddhist Monastery or some place like that.
They are good for landscape use, in the sense they are pollution tolerant and salt tolerant, important in urban areas. They are very polite, as one might expect from a Japanese tree. They tend to drop all their leaves at once, in a single day, instead of dragging out the whole affair for days or weeks like those &@$ing Maple trees.

Eucalyptus is an exotic, invasive species. ‘Strya, iirc.
Somebody imported them, and thought they would make suitable railroad ties. Something like that. They are explosively flammable. Here’s the windup. California prohibits cutting Eucalyptus. It’s “protected”. They even care more about illegal alien trees than they do your home or livelihood. In a sane state, worried about wildfire, they’d have a bounty on the damn things.

“Immigrant” students with Mexican flags staged a mass walkout in Chicago yesterday to demand the school district accommodate illegal students with remote learning so they don’t have to leave the house.

Now that I think about it, I don’t want to be over or under whelmed.
Just whelmed would be fine, thanks. Similarly, things by definition should ordinarily or properly be in “whack”, as opposed to being “out” of whack. Whack is good, though not whacked out.

That school in Chicage is now freaking out. Schools use head counts to justify whatever federal and state funding they receive. Losing head count means less dollars.

Rasmussen has had Trump in the 50% approval range consistently. This week it’s down to 45%. The shutdown propaganda might be working.

“Trump is weaponizing hunger” is the new Democrat talking point.

I listened to the entire Tucka/Fuentes talk and got no indication of Jew hate; you all are - perhaps understandably - sensitive. He is questioning the Israeli government policies over the last 30 years.
And no, he, nor I, are standing for 'Palestinians'. The neocon establishment is simply trying to reduce both men here for asking questions. Sorry. Many of us have the same questions. Posted by: Danimal28 at October 30, 2025 09:57 AM (1E4GV) 334
I'm fascinated with how all the clown judges are flat-out ignoring some of the biggest precedent of SCOTUS this year:
1) no nationwide injunctions (the birthright case) 2) no piddling ass "administrative technicalities" to justify injunctions (the UT land case) 3) just saying rote phrases, isn't enough--you must do the work; especially when weighing harm to the government (several of the emergency docket rulings) And yet? Nationwide injunctions, based on interpretation disagreements over minor Administrative Procedures Act compliance while dispensing with the harm to the government (from the injection) with rote phrases. There is real, actual fascism in this country--unelected, unaccountable tyrants overruling the will of the electorate: It's wearing a black robe and calls itself "judge."

Maggie Goodlander isn't even a full year into her first term in office, and she already has a primary challenger from within her own party. Nashua State Rep. Paige Beauchemin wants to offer Democrats a choice. "Congresswoman Goodlander voted for the Laken Riley bill, which has enabled ICE to be what they are right now.

BTW Maggie Goodlander served in the Biden administration as a senior advisor at the White House and as a Deputy Assistant Attorney General at the Department of Justice. Her husband, Jake Sullivan, was Biden's National Security Advisor. ---- The old guard are truly running scared, and both the AOCites and the Trump administration have them cornered for now. ----- Re: SNAP benefits, I note that my PA county now has 74,409 persons on such benefits.
